Honestly? don't do hosted engine deployment first. If you're just getting started with ovirt, you're going to waste weeks on getting hosted engine running, and then I guarantee once it's running, it's not going to come up when you need it most. Just load your single host, and then load the engine on a separate VM/Machine to manage it. I have the engine running on a separate machine so just in case there is a host issue, you can still access the engine to fix it. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/7TAEQR6SZKQ...

Disagree, I've had some pretty significant meltdowns and if you cant access hosted engine, go have drink and try again... It comes up. It's ability to self-repair and find a scrap of a host to run on is pretty impressive.

The only issue I've had is that it can take 15 minutes before the HE starts... And I have to ensure the host is taken out of maintenance mode manually. Beyond that, it has recovered from many updates, reboots, and power hits without intervention. -derek Sent using my mobile device. Please excuse any typos.

I am having hard time installing OVIrt. Gluster deployment for the single node sometimes work, but host engine deployment never works. Any one has suggestion on which release of OVirt to use as a beginner.
